Anti-Piracy Monitoring Only Console Guide

This Anti-Piracy module enables content rights owners and content distributors to monitor the web for unauthorized distribution of their media assets, manage infringing URLs, and maintain a whitelist information, all from a single, unified console.

The Anti-Piracy service is organized into four main areas accessible via tabs at the top of the screen:

1. Dashboard — A centralized, real-time overview of piracy activity across all monitored assets, featuring graphical insights, and key performance metrics for quick analysis and decision-making.
2. Asset Details — Register and manage assets for monitoring by adding content metadata to enable accurate tracking and enforcement.
3. Infringing URLs — View, validate, and export a list of piracy links detected by the system for further action and reporting.
4. Whitelist Management — Manage trusted domains, partner platforms, and approved external websites to prevent false positives during monitoring.

1 Asset Details

The Asset Details tab allows you to register and manage the content assets you want the system to monitor for piracy.
